Holiday Club Day 2 Shaping the Team

Had another great time at Holiday Club today.  We had 90 children this morning which is 6 up on yesterday - however we did have 8 new ones too!  Today the children heard the story of Bart, or Blind Bart, better know as Blind Bartimaeus.  He was a man born blind and reduced to begging what ever he could to eat.  Jesus came by and well Bart called out to him but the crowd shut him up so he shouted louder and this time Jesus heard and the crowd moved aside and Jesus stood next to him.  Now Bart could have asked him for money or something but Bart knew who Jesus was and yes Jesus knew who he was too.  Jesus would have know what Bart wanted before he even opened his mouth.  But Jesus asked what he wanted and Bart said - to see.  Go said Jesus your faith has healed you.  This is just one of the ways that we read about in the gospels of how Jesus shaped his team then as is still shaping us today.  Our prayer is for all the children we have had contact with so far this week that the seeds that have been sown will start to take root and start to sprout.
